Welcome to RECOSI

RECOSI (Regional and European Co-Operative for Social Industry) based in Ireland is a not for profit organisation. It was formed in early 2014 by a group of like-minded individuals, who want to help to develop social enterprises, which operate mainly in the area of reuse of IT equipment and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Our main objective is to develop the commercial activity of social enterprises in a meaningful and profitable way by combining the resources and expertise of both the social enterprises and commercial sector.

Our aim is to create a commercially unified model between social enterprises and commercial bodies in the IT reuse and WEEE market, which is directly delivering social value, commercial revenue and environmental protection. RECOSI’s aim is also to establish an informal compliance scheme for social enterprises (reuse centers operating in area of reuse of IT and WEEE) working together in partnership with existing compliance scheme.

Our locations: Ireland (Head Office), UK, USA, Europe
